It's snowing! In Dallas!!!

Snow=kids home today! Yippee!! I hope we can bake some cookies. It is so pretty. My little girl already made a snowman by 8 am!
Sorry for no posts yesterday. I fell asleep about 2 pm and never got out of bed! Still groggy!

DD already had a snowman built by 8 am.

This is early this morning at 8 am and it has continued
to snow all day!

My husband turned dd snowman into a monkey!

Meatball grabbed the carrot and Oreo ran off with it. Poor snowman!

I make Jewelry too!

For those of you that follow my 365 blog, this will probably be my blog post and POTD for today. This is a bit of jewelry I made a few years ago. I did not make the lampwork beads. I ordered those from some girl I met at a craft store, and designed the bracelet, necklace and earrings myself. I have not made jewelry in about two years. I let the MB and the Cricut take over my life, but am making a change to that! I don't need any more jewelry but it is a very relaxing and fullfilling hobby. Enjoy!

Rain, Snow or Shine!..........

Rain, Snow or shine, well maybe not in the snow, but it is pouring here, but I got all the packages for the Ribbon Shares and the Card Kits mailed!!
Sheila it is on the way!!!
Enjoy!!!

This Title Page is SU paper and other digi Clip Art


I did NOT design this February Title Page. I just added Text

Another Valentine Workshop

I held another workshop today. I called it Valentine Hodgepodge because I just put a bunch of materials out today to "create your own'! Everyone made such pretty cards. I didn't get to make any. I was working on cutting ribbon for my ribbon shares. Here are a few photos of the ladies hard at work. Thanks Mel for bringing Cindy and cookies!

Your Marker/Cardstock/Inkspot/Ink Clubs are ready to ship!

All the orders for the Marker/Cardstock Club, the Inkspot/Cardstock Club, and the Full Sized Ink Club came in last night. I am ready to take them to the Post Office.
You should receive them in two-three days! Enjoy!
Pleeeeze let me know when they arrive



I know this photos is upside down but I can't get it to turn correctly.

Now I need to pack up 7 Card Kits and 15 ribbon shares to mail out on Monday.

Gone Fishing

Just kidding! I have been buried in taxes and my son has been very ill. I have not been able to keep up with my blogs this week. Stay tuned for later creative endeavors!

Monday- What a mess! I had paper layed out all over my huge table and island. I sorted them all in piles.

Tuesday- I sorted them into folders. Catching up but I have to go through and sort each file and calculate Income and Expenses.

Wednesday, totally stressed!! I did get all the folders calculated for Income and Expense
Thursday, getting it organized! Almost finished and feeling better. Taxes drive me nuts. They take me a solid week just to get ready for the accountant!!

Today is Oreo's B'day!

Oreo Cookie is 2 today! She celebrated by being groomed at home with our dog groomer and then by enjoying the kids sing happy birthday to her, while they enjoyed her cake!
